Abstract

The Human View collects and categorizes data to provide information and analyses on the human component of a system. This organization of human system data helps to understand what the impact of the technology on human performance may be. The first phase of this project completed exploratory work on different Human View techniques in the context of the Warrior Information Network - Tactical (WIN-T) system. This included creating a high-level diagram to provide a conceptual realization of a General Purpose User (GPU) interacting with the WIN-T system, creating engineering diagrams using the System Modeling Language (SysML) to render the Human View data, identifying the need for Personnel Profiles as part of the Human View process, and finallying making explicit the linkages between the Human View products and the different IMPRINT simulation modules. The second phase of the project evaluated a specific stakeholder concern using the maturing Human View methodology. In order to complete the analysis, a data map was completed of the human elements of interest, and for each of these human components a small set of context specific data was collected. Relationships were established between the elements using the data map as a guide, and finally moderator settings and metrics were identified that can be included in IMPRINT to complete a dynamic simulation. For the WIN-T system, the Human View analysis focused on identifying elements that indicate the impact of assigning a GPU rather than a Signal Soldier (25U) to the Soldier Network Extension (SNE). The analysis linked the differences in training to the SNE mission tasks and indentified the IMPRINT "Training" moderator setting that can be used during simulation to evaluate the impact on performance. Secondly, the analysis identified the link in Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) score and subtests to the mission tasks through mapping to the Army Universal Task List (AUTL) tasks and metrics, and likewise identified the appropriate IMPRINT "ASVAB" moderator setting for simulation. The Human View provides the data to evaluate different architecture implementations to address stakeholder concerns.
